  "description": "Fluent Bit is a high-performance, lightweight, and extensible data collector, processor, and forwarder for logs, metrics, and traces. It is designed for low resource consumption, making it ideal for embedded Linux, containerized environments, and server deployments. As a graduated hosted project by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), it is a production-grade, vendor-neutral, and community-driven solution, often considered the next-generation alternative to Fluentd.",
